There is only one ferrous metal-iron- but there are many ferrous alloys. Iron and the iron in most of the alloys will oxidize quickly-that is, rust.

What happens to a metal bench when it is left outside in the rain?

A metal bench left outside in the rain can rust over time due to exposure to moisture and oxygen. Rust is a type of corrosion that can weaken the metal and cause it to deteriorate. Regular maintenance and protective coatings can help prevent rusting.


What will happen if you leave a ferrous metal outside unprotected?

If a ferrous metal is left outside unprotected, it will likely corrode and form rust due to exposure to moisture and oxygen in the air. This can weaken the metal's structural integrity over time and potentially lead to deterioration or failure. Regular maintenance, such as coating with protective finishes or storing indoors, can help prevent rusting.
